Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the polynomial of degree 4 with the given zeros , we use the fact that the polynomial can be expressed in factored form as:
where are the roots (or zeros) of the polynomial, and is a constant.
Step 1: Write the factors for the given zeros
Given zeros are , so the factors are:
Step 2: Simplify (if needed)
In factored form, the polynomial is already:
If no specific value for is given, you can assume :
Let me know if you want the expanded form or further explanation!
Do you have any additional questions or need help with the expansion?
Here are 5 related questions you might consider:
- How do you expand a polynomial like this one?
- What happens to the graph of if we change the value of ?
- How can you verify that the given zeros correspond to this polynomial?
- What is the degree of the polynomial in this form?
- How do you find the leading coefficient of ?
Tip: The product of the zeros determines the constant term (if ) in the expanded form.
